The first thing I'm gonna do with stonedar is hurl it at my little brother. Once he gets out of prison of course.
>>11718774>Do you actually think vintage will get finished this year?lol. lmao even.>>11718797Do it!
I just don't care about rocks.
>>11718825that's funny, because rocks care about you
>>11718774>Crossovers also canned for movie yearMan, I really hope they finish out the Thundercats. At least do a pack of the twins.
>>11718853Thundercats is already finished. What they made is all you're getting
>>11718774>TQ: Do you actually think vintage will get finished this year?I doubt it.Although I think they'll give us Two-Bad towards the end (lol), with Megator and Tytus being the grand finale.
>>11718905They could do it fast if they wanted.
>>11718683MOTHERFUCKING METEORBS FUCK YEAH
>>11718774Skeletor concept art from the canceled Warner Bros. film Grayskull: Masters of the Universe, which was in development in 2008 for a planned 2010 release.In this version, Keldor’s face was decaying from using the dark half of the Power Sword, so he wore a skull-shaped mask. A twist during the film’s final battle would have revealed that Skeletor’s face was completely decayed due to the sword’s dark magic, and that he had a skull-like face beneath the mask all along.The full script can be read here, pretty epic:torquemod.com/grayskull-the-masters-of-the-universe-justin-marks.pdf
>>11719144Travis Knight actually spoke about this design because he saw the concept art:>"It wasn’t always going to be this way. A Masters Of The Universe reboot has been in the running for years, and previous iterations of the screenplay had Skeletor’s visage as a golden skull mask. “I said, ‘Fuck that shit. Skeletor has a skull face. That’s just the way it is. It’s a living, talking, emoting skull, and that’s that.” https://he-mania.com/2026/02/actor-jared-leto-asked-to-play-skeletor-plus-previous-scripts-had-skeletor-in-a-golden-mask-per-director-travis-knight/
>First Ones Battle for Eternia 2 in 1 playsetThoughts? Saw on He-Mania instagram
>>11719146>Skeletor has to have a skull face>but Adam can just get punted to earth because I say soIm tired of hollywood
>>11719115What are the chances Mattel will do meteorbs again? Somehow I think it's less likely than even Fuerza T.
>Masters of the Universe (2026) Brick Shop Skeletor Havoc Staff 1/2 Scale Replicahttps://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/359910Apparently there are more "display" sets coming that are like this, it's possible we might not get figures with this line after all. A Fright Fighter set and Battle Cat (similar to old brick built one from years ago) set is also coming. Possibly Power Sword in this style too.
>>11719155All the hype for nothing...
>>11719154Bandai owns them so probably never.Not sure how they showed up in the comic. Maybe they were legally distinct egg shaped rocks that didnt transform idk.
>>11719186I saw someone on a fancy site suggested that maybe they could do a collab with Bandai like the Hasbro thing and do stuff in each others merchandise. They get Meterorbs while Bandai can do Barbie and Battle Cat Tamagachis and shit. Meteorbs would be an”art toy” expensive ass set on Mattel Creations.
>>11718905>>11719087The only sure-things left are Two Bad, the Energy Zoids and the Laser variants. They absolutely can finish this year with that little left The giants aren't proper figures, being oversized, and Mattel only committed to finishing the figures, not included creatures and vehiclesAnd I'm not convinced they won't exclude Blade, Saurod and Gwildor from "vintage completion" and at best do what they did to PoP figures (ie, not remake the vintage toys at all, but where PoP only got figures in a cartoon collection, movie guys might get some attempt at realistic screen accurate toys that won't fit in with regular Origins at all).Hell, most fanboys I see are considering themselves find after Two-Bad and the Lasers. And Mattel has noticeably excluded Blade, Saurod and Gwildor from box teases when every other figure, playset, creature and vehicles got teased. So yeah, I'm not convinced either Mattel or most fans are counting those three as "vintage" even if they are
>>11719155I'm going to kill myself. No one wants a battle cat, havoc staff, or fright fighter model to display. These are toys. They hold very little value beyond that.
F
>>11719186Maybe it's one of those "toy rights vs entertainment rights" deals?Does Japan have tamagora cartoons or comics? Maybe Bandai has never filed to copyright tamagora likenesses for film or comics so Mattel can skirt the issue because their not infringing on Bandai's rights as long as they're not making toys of the Meteorbs.
>>11719196>Battle Cat TamagachisWait isnt that happening? Or did I imagine it.
>>11719389He looks Mexican.Manuel-at-Arms.
>>11719454funny you say that, since this guy (and all the mega figures) are based off of the Classics figures. That Duncan's face was based off the 200X one and thrown in as an alternate head.
Idk, I'm not feeling stonedar. Rokkon wasn't much for me, it's a rare figure that I messed with a few times before he joined the collection but I haven't touched it since. It really is like he was an idea that was meant to be tossed out but slipped through and made it into production. They should have been a two pack, especially if we can't get any orbs to help fill out their ranks. Idk, maybe I feel like many did about kol darr or more recently geldor. Just kinda like I'll buy it to have it in my collection but I don't truly want it
>>11719769I just don't like rocks. Green rock girl looks kind of cute but I wouldn't buy her either.
I just opened up the old Revelation Masterverse Roboto I've had sitting around. I figured because he didn't have a loincloth that his legs would move better than the average Masterverse, but they have some extra sculpt that actually restricts movement. The figure looks good, is hefty, but the articulation just feels so limited. All this to say that I'm looking forward to Chronicles, I feel like those will give to articulated MOTU figures the dynamism they've been missing. I do wonder what happens when they do start tackling classic looks with the big body armors (since all movie figures so far account for it in the design). Will they accommodate that into the articulation, or stick with the classic add-on armor that basically restricts the entire torso, and will only have movement at the waist ball as a result.
>>11719692I wish movie Man at Arms had asymmetrical armour.
>>11718774Stonedar was one of my only toys growing up I'm definitively picking it up but I'm worried it's just nostalgia lol. I just wish they were big enough to partswap with men.
>>11719785You're not alone, I also have no appreciation for the rock people.
>>11719785there's a shark?
>>11719866There is now
>>11719144Because of Christopher Nolan, we had to endure a solid decade of tacticool no-fun-allowed remakes of children's fantasies. Ra's wasn't immortal. Joker was a le terrorist. Bane had no venom.
>>11719928The damage the dark knight caused is immeasurable
>>11719928>>11719932I would rather Nolan's grimdark realism over the last 15 years of millenial whedonisms frankly. The new film looking like GOTG doesnt fill me with much confidence.
>>11720011Origins is effectively on ice and most people are starkly divided on the movie. Mattel's screwing the pooch. They should have atleast teased the next crossover or something. Even the brickshop reveals were underwhelming. Mighty Masters are the only reveal worth celebrating.
>>11720011How? In the first 48 hours alone, it had 264 million views across all platforms, 9.2 billion with a b global impressions, and 23 million conversations were sparked on social media. The excitement is there.
>>11720033And? It's still a job
Apparently, this is the set list for the Masters of the Universe Brick Shop series. All of them are display models and may not include figures, but that is still unknown:>Buildable Havoc Staff display model>Buildable Power Sword display model>Skeletor bust display model>Fright Fighter display model>Roton display model>Small scale Castle Grayskull display model>Small scale Snake Mountain display modelThe last four sets might include mini figures. It is currently unknown whether they do. Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain are way smaller in scale compared to the older sets. I suppose around $100 range is very likely for them.
>>11720037Who is this?>>11720036If they don't do mini figures then this revival will be super gay and it means bad news for Halo. Every day I wish Mattel never bought Mega Brands.
>>11719884This looks awesome and I WILL be buying this for my son.The rest of the movie line idgaf. I'll get hype again when they make Wrap Trap or Madam Razz.
>>11720048>>11720050The fuck you talking about?
>>11719928Those movies were good thoughbeit Also wtf is with the porn spam
Why
never a janny when you need one on this fuckass board
Why is this so arousing
>>11720139This board’s chris chan, who thinks he is in a higher power position than he is just due to shilling like mad. He’s been trying to wrench the lego thread back into his gross claws for a while but nobodys letting him so thats why he’s so uppity kek
>>11720240Either that or pure spite over seeing a healthy general, as in he may still be the go-anon of old. Wouldn’t be surprised at this point since stuff’s been pointing at that for years.
What theNo, wait, I don't want to know
Wtf happened here, why is there porn in the archive? Ebony porn
>>11720249Just blame the french, that’s all.
>>11720251I always hated them
>>11720249Is it Netossa?
>>11720424No its ugly 3dpd.
What the fuck is even happening?
>>11720462Wtf are those feet
>>11720463It’s a $10 babby toy, can’t make it too cool now.
>>11720475I think a toddler would hang himself if given a toy with those feet.
Yeah origins totally isn’t getting replaced guys kek
Bye bye retail origins lmao
>>11718774I saw this on instagram its a walmart exclusive skeletor1/2
>>11720502I got a walmart wagie to scan the barcode i got online and they said theyd get some on march 12
I don’t care if origins is done. $10 figures at retail is what MotU needs. Let the kids have affordable toys without clogging the shelves. >first ones for kids>chronicles for adults >origins online for boomers
>>11720512That works, but also why is anyone saying Origins is gone from retail? Just because we're seeing a non move Core figure?
>>11720533Doomers and trolls
>>11720533There was a leak saying “first ones” or “core” was replacing origins. Mattel dismissed this and said this new “core” line was just for the movie. Clearly that wasn’t true. It doesn’t seem smart to have 3-4 different lines in the boys toy section especially when origins are 100% aimed at collectors. Mattel just reasserted at toyfair origins is continuing. The only logical conclusion is that it is going online exclusively. All other leaks have been true so far.
>>11720554>All other leaks have been true so far.Chronicles in the original leak was said to be 5.5", so I definitely wouldn't say they're all accurate. Mattel, per Dan's video, did assert that Origins will continue but also that Core was a movie focused and separate line. We obviously don't know the full plans at this time, but there's no reason there couldn't still be Origins style figures at retail, especially considering those have been the focus for collaborations (which are on pause in '26). I'd say it's way to soon to assume anything, just that right now the focus is on the movie with Core and Chronicles. I do hope that we could see collaboration figures outside of the Origins form factor at some point. I was hoping to see Masterverse collab figures, and now I'd like them in Chronicles too, once those come back.
>>11720538Doomposting is part of motu general my guy, been that way since wave 2.
>>11720565Remember when there were walls of beastmen warming pegs at walmart and we though origins was kill? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
>>11720563>Chronicles in the original leak was said to be 5.5It was clearly a fuck up meant to say 6.5
>>11720565Yes, I know that. I was answering bros question about "why is anyone saying Origins is gone from retail?"
>>11720563>form factorI found pixel dan
>>11720462what a revolting development...
Origins is still at retail, any of the Macy’s that took on MOTU got fresh pegs of wave 7. Also Cartoon Collection is considered Origins so 200X is at retail as well. They just reprinted the first releases of He-Man and Skeletor. The real Origins they have to keep around to make their pay piggie boomers cough up $10 to buy them from their shit online store although it’s turned into a cry fest of the Masterverse mourners.
Chronicles Scare Glow
Scareglow from Chronicles!
Glownicles Scare Chron
>>11720656Wtf is happening. Where are these things coming from. Also I have a great need. Hopefully this fucker glows this time, and we don't have a repeat of Revelation Scare Glow.
>>11720667He does not glow
>>11720583Considering 5.5 is literally a MOTU scale, idk, it's kind of hard to believe that that wasn't intentionally written. >>11720656What's behind the package? Cross sell?
>>11720670No cross sell
>>11720671So, where did this come from? It's kind of looking like an exclusive of some sort, especially with that "Inaugural Edition" and no cross sell and fabric cape. Reminding me of the Scare Glow exclusive from Revelation.
I'm getting cold feet on all of this... $25 is fine for these figures, and I'm excited for the movie, but I don't want them. I want origins. Their super simplistic sculpt and articulation is what got me.The $10 guys are fine, but no ankles kills it for me. Do they really expect us to get on to ANOTHER new scale and re-buy all these dudes again too?
>>11720656That one... is actually kinda cool
>>11720683>Do they really expect usNO they expect us to buy these for kids in our lives
>>11720683For Chronicles, yes, that's the intent. For Origins, no, the Core figures aren't meant to replace them, just be a starting point for new collectors or kids or people that want the movie figures but don't want to spend that $25. It doesn't look like there will be Origins movie figures yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually show up, assuming they do well in these other lines. For me I appreciated the 5.5" figures for what they are, but I've gotten to the point in my MOTU collecting that I want something with a bit of newness to it, along with superior articulation. Masterverse was unfortunately just barely better because of the limitations built in, but Chronicles is looking like it'll be the line for me.
>>11720670Considering chronicles is 6.5 it’s a simple fuck up. Take note that Mattel wanted that leak taken down.
Wait a minute, wtf is this height? Or maybe Scare Glow is supposed to be an extra large character in their eyes? Feels like MOTU figures don't generally play with variable sizes enough.
>>11720698Apparently it's 7"+?? >>11720701
>>11720701He’s just a larger figure. Rest of the chronicle figures are slightly larger than a marvel legends figure. Teela as an example is probably the exact size of a legends.
>>11720709I'd expect it for Beast Man or Clawful, not necessarily for Scare Glow. But that's fine if he's larger (though this would be quite significantly taller than a 6.5" figure, considering MV Scare Glow already towers quite a bit). I likewise wouldn't mind a slightly larger than average He-Man, and then the regular Eternian Masters a bit shorter than he is, kind of like the Mondo scaling right now (though Skeletor should be shorter). I'm surprised no one brought a Masterverse or other figure to compare directly with the Chronicles figures. Someone brought a WWE Main Event to compare with the DC figures, too mad they didn't bring that to the Chronicles section too.
>>11720666Checked
>>11720671So do you guys consider him Skeletor's ghost or the henchmen ghost of Skeletor?
>>11720712According to robodontknow someone put a legends figure next to the dc stuff and he said it scaled perfectly
>>11720714I consider him scareglow an entirely different character
Do any of the new lines have partswapping still? If it goes away I'll be sad.
>>11720656>>11720659>>11720666Is Scareglow actually in the movie or did they just want to scare kids?
>>11720715That's fine and dandy, but I want to know how tall Chronicles figures are. >>11720714Separate character, and I prefer him unaffiliated with Skeletor. Stronger than the average Evil Warrior or Master, but not as powerful as He-Man or Skeletor. The ghost of Skeletor thing could be a fun idea to play with if you want to bring in some time travel shenanigans, or maybe ghost like a shadow, as in the person that's always with Skeletor (if he was a henchman).
>>11720718First ones heman and skeletors armors are removable so I imagine the skelegoons too. Chronicles armor and bracers are removable. You can see all of this on pixel dans hands on videos.
>>11720722>did they just want to scare kidsYes, this. But also that Inaugural Edition kind of makes this feel like it isn't related to the movie at all, along with all the art on it. If the pictures weren't so consistent I'd have almost cried AI, honestly. Far as I'm aware no one has yet said where this came from.
>>11720672Some guy had his MV figure break out of the box. Mattel asked if wanted a refund or replacement, he went with replacement. They didn’t have his exact fig so they told him they would send him a new Chronicles one which he was cool with since he was getting them. They sent him this.
>>11720724>That's fine and dandy, but I want to know how tall Chronicles figures are.SIX POINT FIVE INCHES
>>11720728There's no way... These were supposed to be available in April I think it was, and that's the movie wave. Unless this is specifically a random Creations exclusive drop or something, why would they randomly have some as of yet not even revealed figure handy to give as a replacement?
>>11720728Cool where’s the barcode
>>11720729Yes, and so are Mattel WWE figures and yet some of those push 7", etc, doesn't mean I don't want to see exactly how they scale next to each other. Unless this is some fucked up perspective, >>11720701 does this look like 6.5" to you?
>>11720736This actually was posted among the other pics.
>>11720737You are autistic
>>11720737
>>11720745I was more thinking the movie figures at Toy Fair, but obviously talking about the scale of those isn't very helpful right now (especially with all the debate on their size a few threads ago which was getting pretty silly). From that previous pic Scare Glow looked a significantly bit bulkier, so it's interesting to hear him say he seems more slender.
AYY YO
>>11720726I mean what about limbs heads though?I'm dying to put this head on an origins body at least.
>>11720754Yes
>>11720754Heads will definitely be removable. I'm doubtful if any other parts of these are removable, at least intentionally so.
>>11720753Lol cringer its just a muscle skeleton that can punch you with death magic you fucking pussy
>>11720754
>>11720701
>>11720763Scare Glow, we know you like standing up straight, but why don't you pose a little?
>>11720763Yeah he’s just slightly taller than an average marvel legends figure which means it scales perfectly considering motu characters are larger.
>>11720701Maybe they are doing ig so the movie Chronicles are 6" while anything not from the movie is actually a continuation of Masterverse but thrown into the same SKU.
>>11720769No. It’s just a larger buck.
https://youtu.be/OJ-6rY5_bkY?si=2YRaOIw5cSy36Oxw
>>11720714I like to think Snake Mountain is haunted.He's not an active henchman of Skeletor, but he's not at antagonistic to him and is almost like a natural defense against invaders to the mountain because he'll scare them off. But he also likes to frighten the Evil Warriors too. Skeletor doesn't mind so just let's Scare Glow have free reign to wander and do what he likes.
>>11720776These are really awesome
>>11720781Can you imagine a castle greyskull and snake mountain for these little fucks. Man I hope these are popular.
>>11720771>larger buck>bio that mashes up various parts of canon>no mention of any movie plot pointsYeah, that's a Masterverse figure under a new label.
>>11720790>bro that’s a masterverse figure Look at the articulation dumbass
>>11720776WWE knuckle crunchers?
>>11720794You think they haven't changed the articulation on Masterverse figures during the run? All of the later ones have drop down hips when none of the early ones did. I'm sure you think it's also just a coincidence that the card art is clearly animation inspired.
>>11720797lol
>>11720797The articulation style matched with Chronicles, which is vastly different than Masterverse's. Also looking at some old size comparisons of that old SG, he actually seems to be a bit shorter than 7".
>>11720800Stop. He’s clearly not listening to anyone but the voices in his head.
>>11720800So why does it have a bio that mashes up various sources and card art that is toon inspired? Just like every single other Masterverse New Eternia figure. And no cross sell of other movie Chronicles figures like pic related?Like I said, they already updated the articulation for Masterverse figures once during the run. My money is that this was developed to be a Masterverse figure simultaneously with the movie figures which is why they standardized the articulation, but they have decided to put it under the Chronicles SKU instead of having retailers refuse to buy an old SKU that wasn't selling as well. Watch as every other "New Eternia" style Chronicles figure comes out at 7" instead of being the same size as the movie figures.
>>11720807You are so fucking stupid holy shit
>>11720671In that leaping shot, it's too bad they can't get a wire in these capes. For caped characters, I'd be willing to take fewer accessories for a wired cape (not that SG here has any aside from 2 hands and his halberd, so I guess that wouldn't apply).
>>11720830I wonder if a wired cape is against safety standards for kids figures meaning that if they want to have a wire they’d need to be out of boys toys and in a collector section.
>>11720832Are McFarlane figures not sold in the same section? They are where I am. And also King Grayskull had a wired cape and he was sold alongside the rest of the line. I'd think it'd simply be that it's potentially expensive, especially if the factory doesn't do it and they'd need to get them from elsewhere. I don't know if this is an issue for the big companies, but a lot of the smaller companies often have to have a factory manufacture the soft goods then ship it to another factory that manufactured the figures to finally put them all together.
>>11720835They were moved to collectors in Walmart as a whole. Target has the collectors editions in the collectors corner while regular multiverse figures are in boys still. Todd has stopped putting wires in anything that isn’t collectors edition.
>>11720701Does he actually glow in the dark? Idk where these leaks are coming from.
>>11720870Anon hate posting sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/MastersOfTheUniverse/comments/1rc1o9m/chronicles_scare_glow/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_buttonThe poster mentioned: "Based on the paint color, I didn't expect him to glow in the dark at all, but I did a quick bit of experimenting, and it seems like at least his head does, so it's possible that his bones do too, since they look to be the same color."So that's a maybe?
>>11720671What if he's going to be a future MCC figure?
>>11720880That seems the most likely to me based on the presentation here. Very weird case, and definitely a mistake, either way.
>>11720881Given the Feb logo was using the new Movie style and we all thought it was going to be something movie related... maybe Stonedar was bumped up out of order due to contracts with MGM/Amazon or something. So Scareglow wouldn't have been that much of a surprise and then he was.
Either way this works for me because now I can order Blast and Stonedar on Tuesday together
>>11720895>>11720880Oh also there's a listing for this in Walmart's inventory, so maybe not an MCC exclusive. Also if it was I think it'd have some fancier packaging, a wired cape, etc. Is it a dream to hope that wired capes become standard? For MOTU and eventually DC too.
>>11720656>>11720701>>11720666so it glows in the dark or not?
>>11720932oh, never mind, I didn't read >>11720873
>>11720785>inb4 we get a monsters in my pocket styled mini-greyskullIt'd really be a treat if these too off. Hopefully they do better than the Minis did.
Holy fucking shit Scareglow looks so cool . I was trying not to start new lines but he's kind of amazing and I need it.
>>11719785Peridot???
>>11720701Well shit if this is how chronicles is going to go then I'm fine with it. I'll be on the train buying them all.
>>11720777>I like to think Snake Mountain is haunted.> ... almost like a natural defense against invaders to the mountain because he'll scare them off.This is how I roll too.
>>11720656Now we talking
>>11720760Man, they're still using these awful cloth capes, I appreciate the mobility over plastic, but if they have to cheap out this much I'm starting to think a sculpted cape would be better.
>>11720967It's supposed a vintage-styled take on Granita We saw this design in the Rokkon comic too
>>11721017I flip flop. I'd usually rather a wired cape, I would sometimes rather these dinky things, and other times I'd want a regular plastic cape. For the Chronicles Skeletor, it looks really stiff, so I'd probably rather fabric, but we'll see how the material turns out. >>11720753 shows him doing this cape blasting thing that he also did in Revelation, a plastic cape sculpted like this would have been cool and unique.
It is amazing people online can’t accept that scare glow is just a bigger buck in the 6.5 inch chronicle line. Holy shit the cope.
>>11721084You can't blame them. You're acting like there's a precedent for Scare Glow to be bigger than any other character but there isn't. That on top of the fact that we haven't seen any non Movie character in this line until now, and the one shown happens to seemingly be bigger than expected. It's new territory right now with this line, so questions about scale aren't odd at all.
>>11721043I ideally prefer them including both, they each do different things great, but obviously I realize that's an insane ask, so If I had to choose I would go with cloth cape with a wire, as long as it looks good. All the Mattel ones so far have looked really flat tho, not a fan.
>>11721095>You're acting like there's a precedent for Scare Glow to be bigger than any other character but there isn'tHe's just big boned. His mom said so leave him alone.
>>11721112THOSE AREN'T EVEN BONES, THEYRE JUST PAINTED ON HIS FLESH.Seriously though, they went the extra mile on him. He's got similar sinewy and muscle-y detail that the movie Skeletor has, along with those outer bones sculpted on the body. If we can expect this kind of detail on these Chronicles figures it's going to be a really exciting line.
>>11721136So good. A wash on the body bones would have been extra nice, but what can you do. Maybe I'll do it when I get this guy. Really want to give the figures in this line a try.
>>11721144Fuck that hit it with uv reactive paint

I’m glad those are done the mighty masters look a million times better
I was told there’s BBW porn in here, yet I see none
>>11721206Look in the archive
>>11721181Assuming it doesn't already glow. The art certainly acts like it does. Pics have been posted somewhat officially. No news on it though, aside from that. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVG-YHrj_e4/?img_index=1
>>11721201Don't be so sure about that. But also these are smaller and more articulated, while the Mighty looks more like the vintage sculpts. I'd say both are cool, but of course anon like you always have to shit on one thing in order to praise another.
>>11720701I may buy Scareglow to go with my Masterverse collection
>>11721128My momma also always said it's not the bones on the inside that counts it's the bones on the outside.
Even I feel they should just finish the original line in Origins out of respect, I'm sure collectors would buy it all. And I don't even collect Origins anymore--I have select casual friendly figures like He-Man, Skeletor, Sorceress and Hordak. They're so close it doesn't make sense to not complete it.
>>11721207>>11721206And it’s all trash.
>>11721228Yo mama's a wise woman. >>11721232I'm sure they'll finish the vintage line, it's just a matter of a time.
>>11721232>>11721243Depending on who you ask, vintage is done after just Two Bad and the Lasers I've seen folks not count the giants because too big, they're creatures not proper figures; folks who don't count the Zoids because they're gimmicky toys like meteorbs; and people who don't count Blade, Gwildor and Saurod because, I dunno, they still have a hateboner for the Dolph movie or some shit
>>11721313I appreciate you
>>11721313Does Blast Attack disassemble the same way all regular Origins do or is it limited like Armor He-man with the flip chest battle damage feature?
>>11721287They all must be made.
>>11721328BasicallyHead, arms and boots are removable.No ability to swap at waist though, obviously, given the action feature and torso construction
>>11721313Good one, got a chuckle out of me.>>11721287It's straight up personal cope that they don't feel like they fit with the rest of the line, which means you could kick out Orko on the same logic.Arguing that being movie-original makes them exclusive also doesn't work - Adam, Randor, Orko, Trooper and Sorceress all only got made thanks to Filmation.
In my dream world they'd do all of NA in origins next.
>>11721340Well, in my dream world they'd do SA in origins next. Wheres my gang rape scene teela figure featuring rip apart clothes, mattel?
>>11720694Jokes on them. I only buy my kids beater vintage.>Yes my son, throw Rotar down the stairs. He's gay and not in mint condition anyways.
>>11721376My son’s going to get all the “core” figures to go along with my chronicles. It’s going to be rad.
>>11721136So when the fuck does it hit stores...for real?
>>11721391Dont let the doomie zoomies try to tell you kids dont like Motu. Give a 7 year old boy a glow in the dark skeleton man with a Roton and he's going to have a blast. Mine also loved the CGI motorcycles.
>>11721340Me too sister. I couldn't give a rat's ass about these movie toys. (Unless they make the 87 movie ones.)But New Adventures just needs to be made into 5.5 form factor. Anons have tossed around the idea of NA 4 packs and that seems like a great idea. Plus make Dart-Os as a NA OC...mattel is sitting on a gold mine.
>>11721334>Arguing that being movie-original makes them exclusive also doesn't work - Adam, Randor, Orko, Trooper and Sorceress all only got made thanks to Filmation.Thank you. Thats what always bugs me about people , even the ones that like them, seemingly wanting them inextricably linked to the movie and them getting toys has to be in the context of "full movie line of movie variants". They don't need to be. No one ever says "we can't do Orko or Horde Trooper, not until we do a full cartoon accurate Filmation collection", so why does everyone seem to insist on it for Blade et al?Just do those three, vintage toy accurate, on the same red card as everyone else.
>>11721398April for the movie line (I'm starting to doubt this with lack of preorders and what not), but for this we're still waiting for Mattel to give us more details. They've only just released official images (and not even themselves).
>>11721206I heard that too, a guy at work mentioned it when I was lunch so I couldn't risk checking the thread in public. 6 hours later and I ain't no big girls dancing on my screen?!? What do y'all want me to do, use my imagination??? Fine, I imagine codi vore as Despara and Natasha nice as evil lyn, now I just need a teela, an adorable, a marleena and a she ra. We can work out the rest later.
>>11721287If it was made during the original run then it's vintage if you ask me. I like the movie but have no interest in the movie figures but they still count. I could see excluding European only releases but even then I'd love to see all of the figures made for origins, ideally even the vehicles but given how poorly they've done at retail I doubt I'm waiting on battle bones. But I'd take a carrying case. I WANT THE GIANTS, if I can't will a dylamug into production for myself and dylanon then please give me the giants.
>>11721494I am going to allow myself one cautious optimism, post-vintage completion:IF Origins does not completely die, the tooling budget for 100% new tooled characters that currently goes towards the last of vintage will not go away and they'll still see fit to give us at least two or three unique sculpts every year in between Axelshits and basic buck cartoon figures. Even if not Dylamug, there's quite a few cool options.
I use the Classics Dylamug with my Origins. He’s a bit bigger but doesn’t look off since he’s a robot.
>>11721334>>11721439If we're extending to She-Ra, I think Loo-Kee was also made for cartoon first.I mean, Blade, Gwildor and Saurod had reminder on front and back that they're from the motion picture but that's just promotion. Snake Men had similar thing.
>>11721838>mean, Blade, Gwildor and Saurod had reminder on front and back that they're from the motion picture but that's just promotion. Snake Men had similar thing.Plus, they make it very clear that the toy versions are still part of the same line and universe in all other ways >Blade is fighting toy Man At Arms and Teela, not movie versions >Minicomic features a story of continuing the "Skeletor tried to take Eternia tower" plot from other comics, with new origin for Gwildor meeting He-Man and for the creation of Blade and Saurod>All characters in said minicomic use toy designs >The Cosmic Key is literally the catalyst for unlocking Eternia 's time travel to open the gate to Preternia and kick off the PoG shitI know I'm belaboring the point but they make it clear that these guys are part of the vintage line lore and are not the same as the movie version, in the same way they handled Sorceress or Troopers that are not the exact same as the toon characters they're based on
>>11720873I sure hope he does cause a Scareglow that doesn't glow is pointless given his name and known gimmick. Yes I'm looking at you MV Scareglow.
>>11721846the fact that we've NEVER gotten a movie trooper is pissing me off
>>11721906sans this one custom, what a wasted opportunity
How would you feel if Motu got TMNT treatment and they made silly variants like Masters of the Universe soldiers or sport starts or musicians, martial artists etc.
>>11721935I've wanted exactly that ever since origins kicked off. We should never move away from the 5.5. vintage design, we should just build onto it the same way playmates did with their turtles.
>>11721330I know the movie was a dud but it's still bizarre to me that they included the likes of Gwildor and Blade in the vintage line, but avoides the opportunity to make variants of the standard cast. He-man, Skeletor, MAA, Teela, Beastman. Most of those guys could have been repaints with new armor pieces. That alone would have paid for Skeletrooper and Karg's new tooling.
>>11721941I imagine it was different mentality back then. Mattel never made another Teela, Man-At-Arms, Beast Man nor Evil-Lyn and He-Mens and Skeletors were more for their gimmicks than appearance. They didn't consider cluttering line with repaints that can't be turned into new characters.
>>11721962Yeah the Mattel execs at the time felt kids would just play with the existing versions of the figures. The 2 that didn’t get made were a Karg and Storm Trooper that had some development work done but got stopped when the movie flopped. Also weird the comic adaptation kept the toy designs as well.
>>11721897I remember telling everyone "come on guys, the paint will obviously glow, Mattel wouldn't do just the head." They just did the head. It's still a very decent looking figure overall though. Solid head sculpt. I do wonder why they can't just use the GitD plastic they use on the Origins or Masters Undertaker.
>>11721906Hoping we get it next year as a sketch series along with Karg for the Movies 40th.
>>11722015>What we want Sketchbook Series to be: "heres Karg, Strobo, Wrap Trap, Gygor, Dylamug, Snowman, Photog, etc>What we actually get: "you guys want the main cast again?"
New thread when?
>>11722042For values of "the main cast" that includes Grizzlor, Sy-Klone and Spikor...(Now that's a movie or cartoon I want to see.)
>>11722078Ok...let's say "vintage cast" then
>>11722015No need for sketch series, just put it in Origins.
>bought Hurricane Hordak>put his arm cannon attachment on Buzzsaw Hordak>create most horrible Hordak of all
>>11722222can i see?
>>11722222Checked horde chad
>>11722241It sparks joy in its simplicity
>>11722293what fidget spinners does to a mf
>>11722301Zoomer get out
>>11722042None of the ones that got a figure in Classics belong in Sketchbook Series. Definitely not Strobo who deserves to be on a vintage card like his Lost 88 brethren.

So Roger Sweet is in a bad way with dementia and has to stay in a care facility that is too expensive for his wife to afford on their savings. And has a go fund me to help them outThis man helped shape the masters of the universe. So kick the man some money. So he can live put his last days as peaceful as possible. He's partially responsible for alot of our joy with MOTU. Let's help him alongEdit: tried to post the link several diffrent ways but 4chan thinks it's spam. So you'll have to go search for the link. Im donating to him, I hope you do too.
>>11722359No. Medical induced suicide is the correct treatment. You DO NOT want to prolong that shit.
So I was just messing with stingor and thought he'd look cool with the shield. Went to attach the shield and the friggin thing bent on me. I'm kinda surprised it didn't just bend right off, and no I didn't force it on or hamhand it. It just kinda bent crazy easy, I don't run into these issues often and ive only had like maybe 2 or 3 problems with motu figures out of the all the figures I've bought over the years
>>11722359Sucks, but 10k a month? Damn. surly they have insurance or at the very least medicare/medicaid for that.
>>11722399Yup it’s a grift
>>11722389Hot water gets rid of stress Mark's and can help you shape it back into place
>>11722417End the suffering
>>11722399Insurance? lol. Insurance? What country do you think this is?
What would make the worst crossover?
>>11722628None have been good since WWE.
>>11722293Spinny guy needs more spinny weapons. Never stop spinning
>>11722346Why not? Sketchbook is for unproduced in vintage concept artThese guys are all unproduced in vintage concept art characters I don't see why being in Classics should play any part in it, unless you wanna say SBS should just stay variants and OCs should all get red carded. Seems like an arbitrary distinctionAnd the Strobo thing specifically, unless they bring back Rise of the Snake branding he'll be on a different card than Slamurai and the rest anyway. I don't really get why it would matter, as long they're released.
Are we gonna get a fourth wave of the Thundercats line? I really like it, and it still has potential past what we've already gotten
>>11722651What about the TC one?>>11722660The collab is obviously a backdoor pilot for Thundercats Origins so the core cast can already have figures ready to go.
>>11722660NO, it's over.
How much parts reuse you would accept for Haramesh? I feel like big appeal of his design comes from his freaky proportions.
>>11722739At minimum, Haramesh needs to be a 7 inch figure regardless because he's so much bigger than SkeletorAnd since the only Origins figures that big right now are just Multi-Bot and Krang (I think), you're not getting away without almost completely new tooling anywayYou could probably get away with reusing Krang's thighs and biceps at best, but that'd be the extent
>>11722660I think it’s done unfortunately. Higher chance for it now to get its own line.
>>11722658If it's existed in plastic already, its not really an unproduced "sketchbook" figure based on concept art, is it? Gygor made it to prototype stage in vintage. Strobo is such an established character that he has his own lore and has featured in media like comics and the Revolution tv series.Yeti and Horde Brain Bug? They really are blank slates that fit SBS better. At most, they have been used as Easter eggs in card art.>unless they bring back Rise of the Snake branding he'll be on a different card than Slamurai and the restThey brought it back for Terroar and Gr'asp two years after the last figure in the RotS waves. And even if they didn't bring it back, it would still be the red rock explosion cardback that most figures are on. An extra logo that may or may not be on the card like the vintage Snakemen and Horde logos isn't as much of a difference as the off-white doodle covered SBS box.>I don't really get why it would matter, as long they're releasedThat's easy to say if you have a Target that isn't a complete shitshow and don't live in one of the 194 countries that Target won't ship to. I could at least order Terroar and Gr'asp from BBTS and not worry about it. SBS might as well stand for Scalping Bastard Series for me.And vintage Origins is nearly done. What else are they gonna fill Origins with? Axelshits? Do you really want the 3-4 SBS figures each year having slots stolen by figures that would otherwise fit in the regular Origins line?
>>11722752Fair enough, I guess I don't really agree because I don't really care about anything Classics did, I care about whether or not vintage did it, nor do I take lore into consideration, and personally I don't just assume every Sketch figure will be Target forever, especially if it's a riskier proposition like Strobo or Wrap Trap, I think they'd still end up on MC ... Like Cartoon Collection being mostly retail but that didn't help Vultak. But I will say on the last point>Do you really want the 3-4 SBS figures each year having slots stolen by figures that would otherwise fit in the regular Origins line?If those 3-4 slots go to variants like they've been doing anyway, yeah. I'd let unique characters "steal" those slots
>>11722760>I don't really care about anything Classics didSure, but Classics decided that Terroar was purple and Wrap Trap has green skin, despite their only known artwork being black and white. Strobo is the color he is because of his comic. None of these can be pure "sketchbook" characters because they have been portrayed a certain way in other media and toylines, and they aren't going to change their established looks now.>especially if it's a riskier proposition like Strobo or Wrap TrapStrobo has no new molds needed. He's free real-estate. No risk at all. Wrap Trap has enough of a following that he is only a slight risk, even if he needs all new tooling.The real risk is with obscuros like Yeti or the witch that need new tooling and are known by nobody but the most hardcore fans.
>>11722781>Wrap Trap has enough of a following that he is only a slight risk, even if he needs all new tooling.They didn't even have enough faith to put actual vintage line guys like Dragstor and the Rocks at retail because of their tooling.Don't kid yourself into thinking Wrap Trap would get viewed as "slight" risk.
>>11722472Bet. I'm hoping it well relax on its own, I just don't want it to tear as it's a nice shield. I guess it was a bad batch of plastic, it was so soft and pliable like I boiled it for an hour. >>11722628K pop demon hunters? Skibidi? Idk what's popular with kids and young people currently? Are they still into BTS?
>>11722690Considering how much of the market Mattel's begun to corner and knowing there's plans for a Thundercats flick on the horizon I really wouldnt be surprised if they made the attempt. I'd almost welcome it at this point, it might give us a better looking Lion-O.Having said as much I'm still really tempted by the old Bandai figure, faults and all, it still looks the best of the later options.
>>11722628Even the "worst" options I can think of (Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters,, Star Wars) could yield one or two decent toys. At this point I much rather ask what the next best crossovers could be. DC seems highly likely, I'd be surprised if they didnt do it, but after that what's left? Alot of the ones I'd want to see are too niche (Fuerza T, Blackstarr, Thundarr, HB)
>>11722628Well, I know one that would give /MotU/ a meltdown
>>11722852I would be okay with this, but the worst one for >>11722628 would easily be Ghostbusters. I'd argue that characters cosplaying as each other is the WORST CASE scenario for a crossover, and that's all that something like Ghostbusters has to offer since apparently slime is off the table.I would be ok with Star Wars, Toy Story, Conan, or Hot Wheels but I know most of these will never happen. Most likely we'll get GIJoe or DC.
>>11722852I doubt it. Even when it rolled out it was mostly apathy. They tried to drum up their was hatred but even here most just didn't give a damn. That's the dark comedy of all this is they and Smith's Heman series think they have haters when the reality is no one gave a real shit. They still don't, roll that out if you want, hell I bet most don't even know the series is no longer streaming. In fact I do know that because 0 threads have been made about it and I keep an eye on that. Now I imagine there will be now that I told you, but up until this point it was so unwanted that no one even knows it's gone.
>>11722359It's so fucking tragic that the man who created one of the biggest toylines ever has to ask people to get comfortable at the end of his days, but yeah I'm donating, dude created something that has brought me joy since I was a kid, it'd be wrong if I didn't.
Shark spaceship!
Cometroid and the Meteorbs!
Evil-lyn's tits!
>>11723016Meteorbanon is gonna flip
>>11723016C'mon now, we've got to get meteorbs and granita now right?
>>11723098Aren't they actually owned by a Japanese company?
>>11723016Holy fucking shit I love meteorbs so much.Everything's in storage now I can't take a good picture of the few I own
>>11723111
>>11723107That's what I've read here, but they are in the comic and I think the backer card art on stonedar. In the past that's been a tip off to an upcoming release. It would also be a reason for me to look forward to buying a stonedar other than for pure collection fodder and completion. Which I think is a crummy reason to buy a figure for me on a personal level.
>>11723107It's like how Transformers got Dovack toys and other Japanese toys and turned them into transformers
>>11723016Holy shiiiiiitI wont hold my breath but man I'd love to see them return in origins.
>>11722813And yet they put SBS Sy-Klone with 90% new tooling at retail when they couldn't even do that with his regular version. So somehow the SBS one was low risk enough for retail but the character people know was too risky?
I forgot one

Can someone who actually knows something about wrestling give me a brief on who all these guys are, and what inspired their toy design and accessories?
>>11724412Junkyard Dog - leash/dog collarAndre the Giant - big guySgt. Slaughter - military drill seargent, used as a character in G.I. JoeBret "The Hitman" Hart - signature move called the Sharpshooter links with Tri-Clops' vision gimmick
>>11724464Plus Andre's armor invokes his singlet (that he's also wearing under his armor). MOTEU was probably the best collab. Am I crazy in saying that? I'd love to see some in Chronicles. I bet some WWE fans would be excited to see wrestling figures in this format vs the tried and true Elite style that's probably never going away just to be consistent.
>>11724464>the black guys is kept on a collar and a leash
no crossovers for a year, and no word on new origins for MC. I'm not feeling the movie line nor am I going to re-buy everybody at 6.5 inches. I guess I'm taking a break for a year.
>>11724579Well they were trying to keep him from getting in the coke stash but it was a vain effort. Apparently he was a huge deal before wwf.>>11724638We've all had to go down that road, just check in every so often since the general is a solid source for info.
New figure on March 19th, same day as Mattel Creations Revealed
>>11724696Junkyard Dog was a huge deal in the early 80s in Midsouth Wrestling, a wrestling company which was one of the big wrestling companies of the pre-WWF era and a spiritual predecessor to Jim Crockett Promotions, which became WCW.He was a super popular black wrestler that Midsouth owner Bill Watts built up from day one, positioning him as "the guy" he intended to build his company around. But Junkyard left without warning one night, for the WWF with the rumor being that Junkyard (while in a bathroom stall) secretly caught Watts and one of his underlings enter said bathroom while unaware that JD was in the stall, referring to JD as the n-word when talking about how JD owed his entire career to Watts and would never leave him fir the WWF.
>>11724789it's insane how much more interesting the real world lore of wrestling is compared to the gay shit that happens in the ring, thank you anon
>>11724761I will eat my shoe if this is an Axel OC
>>11724862It really is a fascinating world anon, I've been listening to these old road stories for almost 7 years now and there is always a new character you'll hear about. Not all the stories are heart warming but if you're curious I'd suggest dutch mantel or Jim cornette if you enjoy podcasts. >>11724789Thanks anon, I knew some of this but didn't want to add mis information or confusion as I'm not well read on mid south, other than the driving they had to do.
If we ever get a DC x MotU crossover I hope He-man gets mixed with Captain Marvel and not Superman.
>>11724946I just want dc characters in origins fuck a cross over
Saw this on a comic art channel and thought you guys may like it. It's just great, real sword and sorcery feel to it, the brutish Skeletor and cheesecake ish Evil Lyn are great, especially Evil Lyn. Really enjoying seeing Evil Lyn being sexy

Awesome MOTU fan @IllustratorDad sent this to us earlier today, yet another look at the upcoming Masters of the Universe “Inaugural Edition” Chronicles SCARE GLOW action figure that served as a replacement for an out-of-stock defective figure. Look for his video review coming soon on TikTok under the username GeekIllustratorDAD @ ihavetheglow !
>>11725159
>>11725057>>11725159>scareglow>only his head glows, and barelywhat's even the fucking point?
Stonedar should be here tomorrow. Did anyone have these fridge magnets in the '80s? I found an Orko at my parents house last weekend in a drawer
>Chronicles Scare Glow is about an even 7" or maybe 6 15/16"
>>11725178The takeaway here is some masterverse figures can scale if they are canonically bigger
>>11725173Can you or anyone else with him take pictures of Stonedar? I cant decide if I want him or not.
>>11725187Just get him. He has a unique gimmick. Just do it.
>>11725057I'm not really a comic book guy I just read that Alex Ross stories lately for some reason he did which made me love him. Which lead me to his video on that drawing and I noticed heman and had a 'holy shit that's why filmation fod that moment.'
>>11725178Good that they posed him with Keldor, you can see the size creep from Rev Scare Glow, not just height wise but width wise. Rev SG was also always a bit smaller, too.
>>11725189Lou Scheimer was a childhood fan of Captain Marvel aswell. You can pick up on his influence in alot of his works. Hell they even did a shortlived Captain Marvel/Shazam cartoon. It might just be the only decent full length cartoon the big red cheese ever got.
>>11725178The masterverse scareglow is so ass holy shit.
>>11725187https://youtu.be/POxyeqrsfbI?si=mmvEsVPmgDBt2l9fFullreview of the figure
I've seen strong opinions about Evil-Lyn or Hordak's skin color, but what about Teela being pale white vs the toy's warm brown?
>>11725401plap plap plap plap
>>11725401Teela being sunkist makes alot of sense formthe setting. 200X got that much right. Unfortunately you cant depict a slight tan anymore without committing to a full on race swap.
>>11725401Rule of thumb is if the toyline did it, it's more often than not better than what the toon did.
If Mattel would reinvent the bucks again, would you want figures to have extra articulation like Rokkon so they can tie their shoelaces?
>>11725430Orko?Mer-Man's face?Tri-klops having different eye colors instead of shapes?Maa's mustache?Khan's face?Man-e looking like he's go flesh growing on his helmet and dildo under his chin?Sorceress' headwear?
I remember a while ago I suggested line where everyone is turned into animals.Zoduck, Orcow, Kobra Khangaroo, Rat-Os, Snout Trout, etc. I just came up with another one: Rokkoon.
>>11725401I like green teela the best.
Heads-up: I found a lone Modulok at Ross for $13. They had several Masterverse Stratos for sale too.>>11725401I like both, but the warmer brown kind of matches He-Man so maybe I lean towards that.
>>11725524Teala.
Have the Legends of Dragonore guys ever showed any intent to either make articulated figures like Origins or larger scale articulated figures like Chronicles/Masterverse? It'd be interesting to see.
>>11725553I kinda love their new guy - Emberor, you can remove fireball from his head and launch it in catapult.

>>11725553>Have the Legends of Dragonore guys ever showed any intent to either make articulated figuresThey have stated repeatedly when asked at shows they have zero interest in doing more articulated figures
>>11724464>Sgt. Slaughter - military drill seargent, used as a character in G.I. JoeThe closest thing to GI Joe crossover so far.
>>11725553
>>11725606
>>11725575A decent first look at the figure. We've heard it before, but we got further confirmation about smooth 'import-style' like articulation, so that's great. He said no thigh swivel but I'd assume there might be an inner thigh swivel (though I can't see anything). Range of motion seems good too, but we'll have to wait til someone that really poses to see the maximal range it can get.
>>11725608>>11725606I feel like an aspie saying it but the articulation is very much welcome...what are these?
>>11725575The range of the neck looks fantastic, which is something that was massively missing from Masterverse.>>11725606>>11725608These look pretty nice, but these look like just homages to He-Man and Skeletor, of which there are tons from Origins so not very needed, I'd say. >>11725593That's alright, some people rather stick with the aesthetic they prefer.
>>11725178I'm looking to get him to test out the Chronicles line. Maybe it can sway me since I have a lot of masterverse and thus am stuck in 7in
>>11725667Unless you stand them straight up, the difference isn't so big that they probably won't look fine next to each other.
>>11725667The canonically bigger guys should scale no problem with chronicles.
>>11725824Adding to this This is by design for collectors to slowly transition into the smaller scale. You’ll buy a couple then start replacing masterverse because these are just better.
>>11725827Same approach with first ones
>>11725824>>11725827I wouldn't be too surprised if the classic non movie characters do tend to be a bit bigger. Are you telling me that He-Man would be as tall as Spider-Man? If he was less than 6'5 I'd be surprised. If we're saying that 6' is 6.5" (because size creep sure has happened) then near 7" would be accurate. Variable heights are good anyways, especially if we'll have more unique sculpting like SG has.
>>117258316.5 baseline for males6+ females
>>11725606>>11725608I'd cum in my pants if the Dragonore guys end up making Fuerza T origins
>>11725605GI Joe has to be in the pipeline right? Especially now that Matty's got a working relationship with both Hasbro and Paramount, it just seems like a no-brainer for 2028. Hell they might sidestep the DC crossover just to cover the Joes first.
>>11725561I'm probably the only guy thinking about stuff like this but Jack Kirby's estate owns alot of his independent characters. Formo could do a whole Kirbyverse Dragonore line if they wanted, maybe even expand it to include PD/other indie capes. It could be cool.
>>11725495Not really. I'm pretty pleased with the bucks as is. More articulation would just ruin the silhoutte
>>11725846Have we ever got official heights for MotU? That's around what I'd picture for a true 1/12, most women around 6', most men around 6'3 (and She-Ra), He-Man something like 6'6, etc.
>>11725561I'm so mad I missed out on the viking guy from galaxy warriors on bbts. Shipping sucks everywhere else.
The guy I wanted to buy a replacement Revelation Battlecat head cast from hasn't responded to the DM I send him and it's been several weeks so I'm assuming he either can't fulfill orders or he doesn't think I'm a serious buyer, so now I'm considering the alternative of just modifying the head on my own Battlecat and re-modeling it with apoxie sculpt. I have some experience with sculpting although something this would be a challenge. I think if I print up some big high quality reference images of a real tiger snarling I could make it work, though? Especially since i'd be cutting away and rescuilpting the existing head to some extent, not starting from scratch. I can also give it glass eyes which is something that I wouldn't get from a 3D print or a casting.
>>11725178I am definitely grabbing Scare Glow, he looks like he'll fit in great with my Masterverse figures, and the sculpt is so far beyond the previous Masterverse figure.
So you know how that new Dark Horse comic is building itself on the premise of explaining the purple power sword that came with vintage Skeletor?Are there any other vintage toyline elements that usually get omitted or overlooked in adaptations that you'd like to see them work into the story and acknowledge? Doesn't have to be a huge plot driver like the sword thing For me a big one is Buzz-off's wings having circuitry. Did he have his wings torn off and replaced, or did he and his people never have natural wings in the first place? Does it give him extra abilities like faster flight or a buzzing sonic attack to dizzy enemies? Most shows and comics just treat it as his whole race including him just have natural wings, it'd be nice to see them play up the wings tech aspect. Snake Mountain 's ability to talk is another one I'd like to see them utilize in the story

>>11726014>Are there any other vintage toyline elements that usually get omitted or overlooked in adaptations that you'd like to see them work into the story and acknowledge?All the concept ideas they had for the toyline that wasn't incorporated. I posted them before but basically stuff like the moat and greyskull having different time periods and its tech inside it. The greyskull castle being a felled giant's head. The computers being from ancient aliens. Collapsed civilization setting (but actually go into the pre collapse) with tribes that went savage native magic users and tech users. Skeltoes hood being made out of a dragon eyelid.Unless comics did this I don't really read much.Also more meteorbs and rioblasts planet and comrads.
>>11725873Megacustomx just uploaded this custom.
>>11726216>MegacustomxQuick question since I've never tried buying from any of these custom places Can you only buy products that they have on their website or social media, or can you put in orders for basically anything?Like if Origins ended with making [insert any character name here] could you hit them up to make you one special or would they not do that?(I accept it would probably cost a pretty penny)

My excitement for the 5.5" line has been downgraded a bit after the first reviews. I'll probably get some for parts, but not sure. Chronicles maybe a couple of figures but not buying a whole new scale again.
>>11726146>Braun - Beast Man because of his savagery.His catchphrase is "get these hands" ergo Terror claws.
>>11727218>>11727220>>11727224I'd have prepared something better if I knew someone was going to try AI coloring the pic. I'll give it another go later today.

>>11726233>Can you only buy products that they have on their website or social media, or can you put in orders for basically anything?Mostly website unless you're dropping some serious numbers>could you hit them up to make you one special or would they not do that?Commissions are really expensive since MCX prefers doing auctions of his examples. You can ask, but expect a no>>11726216This is exactly what people wanted for an Origins scale anything and those First completely miss the mark. Mattel needs to do something which isn't another overpriced MC exclusive like the He-Man 4-pack. You know that NA He-man you want? Get him in an overpriced 4-pack with chrome swords...
>>11727228Now I'm sad the crossover TF wasn't this cool. Way better as a full machine like Roboto>>11727214Gonna miss partswapping with WWE but guess this is how DC will be as well
>>11727532I'm really going to miss the Origins body. It's like losing classics all over again.
>>11727608people take comfort in a body buck. toy makers dont realize this. they know what theyre getting out of it. they love it.
>>11727457Really glad to see the magic of stardust the super wizard being enjoyed by new readers. It's such a batshit fun comic. >>11727605Nice stuff anon..>>11727608What are you guys talking about? What is changing? That scareglow looks sick, it what I hoped for from the master verse scareglow but mattel just made one version for some reason.
>>11727605This is good shit anon.
>>11727605>>11727627
>>11727608Didn't they say its not ending? It probably won't be the same though yeah.
>>11727531>You know that NA He-man you want? Get him in an overpriced 4-pack with chrome swords...I found them all for a good price on Ebay but didn't go through with it and someone else bought it. The chrome sword thing seems cool but... kinda ruins the point of NA heman. They should have focused on doing PoP and NA cartoon collection stuff. I bought Frosta and Shera and love them. The animation style for NA was so good because TMS worked on it so a cartoon collection sculpting would be amazing. Oh well.
>>11727624More people should read Fletcher Hanks' bibliography in general. Every single comic is a blast.Glad you liked the art in anycase.As for the Origins deal, I just get the sense Matty is getting ready to rugpull us. Masterverse is getting retired, they have a half dozen lines in the works ready for this new movie, and Origins is on pause for 2026. It makes me uneasy.>>11727627>>11727628Lol I love seeing how the AI butchers everybody but spongebob. Squidac looks neat atleast.>>11727639It's going to be another transitionary point like 200X Origins.
>>11727650It hurts me to no longer be excited for this film nor its toys
>>11727650Some others have gotten this in-hand and the visor does rotate. The belt isn't surprising, they probably didn't want it to ride up and what not. >>11727654If they're sending out samples they need to send them to people who can properly show off the toys, because a pose like this isn't doing it any favors.
>>11727651Why? Triklops being half assed doesn’t worry me about the rest of the movie chronicle figures. Skeletor, trap jaw, battle cat and heman look great. The $10 core line are good for what they are which is cheap toys to get kids into heman. Is it the designs or the figures themselves that you aren’t feeling?
>>11727663The person that posed him like that has never fired a gun
>>11727664I just don't want to buy the same dudes all over again... Nothing can really top origins for me. I'll get a few, and the movie might be decent. But I expect it to look like and be about as good as something like a Ready Player One.
Update
>>11727690>different head than>>11727214holy shit some retard sent out prototypes
>>11727666Besides the fact that he is molded plastic with limited articulation and incapable of full humanlike limb movement, and setting aside his awkward grip, lack of trigger discipline, misdirected gaze, and statuesque forward lunge pose, there does not seem to be much wrong. He could simply be acquiring his target before establishing a proper sight picture.
>>11727723We can't assume this from that article, come now. >>11727695I would sooner think that the in-hand images, of which there are at least 2 already, are more likely the final product while these promo pics are the prototype/early sample.
>>11727723Kek
>>11727654Not giving the gun three scoped was fucking stupid
>>11727690Hahaha fuck you I'm Canadian and I won't be able to find this fuck you. Everytime I let myself get excited by something this happens.
>>11727646>As for the Origins deal, I just get the sense Matty is getting ready to rugpull us. Masterverse is getting retired, they have a half dozen lines in the works ready for this new movie, and Origins is on pause for 2026. It makes me uneasy.I've been wondering a lot lately about Origins will be like once vintage is done. Like, everyone of us has our personal agenda and wishlist about what Origins could do or should do, or are pessimistic enough to think vintage ending = the line getting cancelled, but what will Mattel ACTUALLY do? (Rhetorical question, I don't expect anyone to actually be able to answer)
>>11727799With two new lines, I'm expecting that they'll finish vintage and consider that fulfilling their promise to collectors: no more Origins. No Adora matching the other three family members, no more PoP, Lizard Man, Goat Man, NA...
>>11727833>>11727799Checked and digits confirm: they're dumping origins (the thing everyone likes) to push the new lines. This could easily be the result of poor sales ....... Good thing they made RED SHADOW!!!!
>>11727833It will end after another bunch of Axel OC's.
>>11727833I'm preparing to be done after vintage regardless of whether or not Origins continues just because I've got no reason to assume that Mattel will make stuff I actually want to buy. Like if Origins were to technically continue but be 100% cartoon collection figures, i'd check out. I'm really only interested in buying things made to go with the regular collection , like Frog Monger, Stingor and Reptilax were designed to be. Out of the things you listed I'd really only expect Goat Man to be a regular figure, the rest would all end up toon collection. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'd stick around for a bit then
>>11727867The silver lining being that if they're dumping it, they'll speed run the last of vintage to get it over with, so Two Bad, the Lasers, The Zoids and the movie guys will be over the next 6 or so months with no filler. Can't simultaneously dump something and spread it out over multiple years, because that's not "dumping"
>>11727833It'd be weird to drop Origins when Superstars is actively using the buck and selling well enough. The god damn (second) greatest tag team in '80s WWF aka Demolition should be out everywhere in the next couple of months with Ax, Smash, Crush, and even Hacksaw Jim has his Demolition tag team face paint as an alt bonus head the year he won King of the Ring.>Road Warriors forever #1 with special mention of the Bushwhackers
>>11727873I just want more characters on the origins body. Decently articulated 5.5. figures are nothing to turn your nose up at. If it boils down to just the occasional retail exclusive crossover line then so be it, but dont cut it out entirely. Now I'm wondering if the eventual DC and GI Joe crossovers will be Origins styled or look closer to these 2026 figures.
>>11727763Bud, I'll try to grab one for you IF I find one. Walmart and motu are the best pairing, and the one I work at does not sell toys at a high volume so we don't get most things unless it's a refresh and then they will get one case of whatever is supposed to be on the pegs. Man, it's bittersweet to imagine that origins could be wrapping up. It's been a good time. >>11727946Maybe we could get a special Johnny Ace figure? Dude is a piece of back stabbing trash in human skin but he was solid in japan. I think he developed the stunner.
I'm bummed about origins but it makes me want to finally jump on other lines like Formo Toys, Boss Fight and Frazetta Girls' 5.5inch lines. Nothing is as cheap or posable as origins though. And well I fucjing love motu characters
Masterverse isn't dead just yet, apparently.
>>11727873>Out of the things you listed I'd really only expect Goat Man to be a regular figure, the rest would all end up toon collection.The original Origins -> Cartoon Collection hasn't been ideal, but the female buck stayed the exact same size, so as someone who collected Origins and not the earlier Classics, not getting every Great Rebellion woman, Scorpia, Octavia and Entrapta when Classics did is going to sting.
>>11728030No shit they still have a backlog of shit that needs to come out. End of the year is the last of it.
I’m putting together a team…
I'm also going to miss Strobo, Plasmar, Eldor, Draego-Man, Fearless Photog, Sky High, Dylamug, Wrap Trap, Lodar, Goat Man, Karg, Pig Boy and Skelcons, as far as deep cuts Classics got that Origins hasn't and definitely wouldn't be CC.
>>11728052Classics didn't have a Pig Boy and their Dylamug was the one that WOULD be CC if Origins made it.But yeah, I'd also prefer Origins Dyla being the sketch one Classics just so both versions could exist in plastic form, and out of the rest of your list, I could live without Karg, Eldor and Sky High but the rest would be welcome
>>11727690why his forearms glow too?
>>11727685>something like a Ready Player One.who?
>>11728010It's the price and posability that keep me from trying one out. I know it's not origins, but I've come to expect origins from anything modern.
>>11728052>>11728068It just wouldn't be right if dylamug got left on the drawing board, I can understand fearless photog but it's a shame as he's been on my wish list for ages.
>>11727690Are we sure it isn't a glow in the dark head that is the "inaugural edition" and they will release one without it as a regular edition?
>>11728030i dont know how theyre going to sell the rest of the releases when they said the line won't continue
>>11728049Has skeletor ever been pirate themed?
>>11728181Online for regular and Walmart has all of the Classics anyway as exclusives. Evil Adora was easy enough to get and that's a 2026 figure

>>11727763Mattel telling international customers to go fuck themselves to kick off a new line seems about right.>t. Ausfag>>11728398Fifth, if you count the movie one.
>>11728030>>11728398If anything, after Mattel failing over and over to actually finish things, it's nice that Vintage Collection will have the original 8 before it closes early. Not that I wouldn't prefer Origins Strobo and Plasmar but still.Also lol at him having normal legswhile Stratos still has loafers for feet.
Is it me or out of all VIntage Collection, Zodac got the best deal, with glassy eyes, glow in dark emblem, blast affect and glowing energy shield coming from his hand.He-Man, Skeletor and Beast Man get nothing.Teela gets helmeted head,lame.Man-At-Arms would be cool if New Eternia didn't came with fur, removable helmet, chain to his mace...Mer-Man has a trident, that's ok.Stratos could easily come with more stuff even if having color options for wings and harness is nice.Faker having all 3 weapons and good chest box is nice but Zodac feel like he took extra step.

>>11728628Best remake since The Blob (1988).
Are there characters you'd like to see in Origins even if they were mostly parts reuse from Classics?
>>11728838Not really.I can kitbash shit myself if I want Classics heads on Origins bodies. I'm not gonna pay Mattel for doing it. They're already getting away with reuse of standard body parts like torsos, biceps, the fuzzy undies and boots, if they can't put in the effort to at least give me a new take on the head sculpt, I don't need the figure.
>>11728628You fucking rule
>>11728838fuck classics parts. make a new sculpt.
>>11728231 I don't know if Disney would ruin a Monkey Island Movie or make an interesting one. probably they just will never make one as it will take away downloads of Pirates of the Caribbean.
>>11728838Purple deadpool and his car
>>11727799>I've been wondering a lot lately about Origins will be like once vintage is done.I think it depends on whether the movie is a hit.Look at it this way: doing a run of Strobo, Plasmar or an Axel OC just takes a new steel mold for a head at most. That's as cheap as action figure production gets, as long as the Vietnamese labor doesn't have to apply a lot of paint apps. So why not keep Origins running forever with such inexpensive drops on Mattel Creations?Because MC MotU figures don't sell out anymore. Instead of nearly pure profit, they become a warehouse storage cost in addition to even a low production cost.But if the movie makes MotU toys popular, an MC exclusive line can get a bigger budget than the MC exclusives for, say, Monster High, which currently has a more robust fandom but little media support.
I've noticed Blast-Attak has a little of the same energy LoP Mer-Man gives off>Big goofy eyes>Silly little grin>Overbite He's not quite there, but he's pretty close
>>11728467Besides the sloppy paint on the dress or whatever that's called, I do feel this is the peak for a origins female at least so far. I may have preferred more definition/muscle in the arms like togs April to match the great legs.Oh, best bum tooooo
>>11721897>>11725168They fucking had the audacity of doing it again, a Scare Glow whose only glow comes from the head. What the hell are you doing Mattel? Why do this half-assed shit? What an utter waster of great design for my glowing boy, whoever came up with that idea needs to be fired and have a pie thrown to their face as humilliation ritual.

>>11729171If Mattel was smart, they'd link Origins to the new comic, because what sense does it make to launch a comic set in a "classic line" universe when the classic toyline is (potentially) wrapping up? What I'd do is, now that they've rereleased He-Man and Skeletor, I'd also reissue the other ones important to the current plot: Tri-klops, Evil-lyn, Sorceress and Orko. I would also point to this comic when hyping up that Gray figure because the most recent issue was delving into his backstory.After the current arc, we've seen Two Bad on the cover of the first issue of the next arc, so I'd announce him in the next month or two to line up with that.And then once I've gotten people to associate the comic and the toyline for cross promotion, I'd work close with the writer so that we can have the characters he chooses to highlight correspond with toy releases to both move releases and to build hype for new characters Ex) have him write a Horde arc that heavily features Grizzlor, Stingor and Dylamug as the henchmen. Line up a Grizzlor rerelease with this arc. Sell a bunch of Grizzlors and also entice people to get some of those Stingors out of the warehouse and then leave them thinking "kinda wish I had a Dylamug, now, too" and THEN spring a Dylamug toy announcement and it would probably generate more excitement than just cold dropping him. Have the comic and toys feed into each other now that, lets be real, every character from here on out will get viewed as barrel scraping by a lot of more casual fans. New comic appearances, as long as they aren't treated as cannon fodder or cameos, could build their profiles and move them into being more desirable.
Any idea if kneepads on WWE figures come off?>>11729415By that logic we should be getting Strobo, Photog, Procrastus, Crimson Countess, Eldor and giants soon.
>>11729432And Gygor!
>>11729432Yes, kneepads can be removed.And I wish. The way the comic has used them all they've been throwaway appearances that even IF they got toys, the comic did a poor job of making them seem like characters you'd want a toy of. If I'm not a guy already wanting a Strobo figure, seeing him playing cards for one panel isnt going to sell me on him. Same with Demo-Man and Countess.Photog and Gygor both needed more to do. They didn't quite reach "needs a toy" level of use, but they did enough for me to want to see them come back and do more. And funny enough, they got my attention with Vypor, and he's a guy I've shit on in previous threads. More of him and Hiss interacting might eventually sell me on buying his toyProcrustus they did a relatively good job with, he was the central feature of his issue...but then they fucking ended with killing him. Come the fuck on.
>>11728512what's wrong with the paint?
>>11729415>>11729441Yeah, this is true. Show off figures you want to sell in a monthly comic if you have one.Unfortunately just making anyone below the B-list a cameo has been a problem since the 2010s DC comic that Freddie Williams III and his partners doing the writers have continued.
>>11729737Is Fisto OK
>>11718774Absolutely fucking inexcusable that the street date for the MOTU movie figures is so fucking far away for no good fucking reason. These figures shouldve been out in fucking march but they wont come out until they very end of april. Fuck target, fuck mattel, and fuck useless fucking street dates!

>>11728838I'd like a Castle Grayskullman>>11728628That's a good one!
>>11730161What's this 26.99? I thought they were going to be 24.99 max?
>>11730295Manufacturer SUGGESTED Retail Price...
>>11730295>>11730295>>11730389Target are cheap bastards
Has anyone else found a Fright zone in ROSS of DDs? Went every day last week and no luck.
>>11730161That's not too long away. They want the toys to be fresh once the movie drops, but at the same time you're kind of right, wave 1 out now, wave 2 drops same month as the movie. Excited moviegoers can go to shelves and see both He-Man and Skeletor and others on shelves.
>>11730460Its fucking bullshit tho since mando and grogu comes out only like two weeks before the MOTI movie comes out yet if this info is correct the motu movie toys come out a whole month after the mando movie toys come out since the motu movie toys might be street dated for april 25th while we know the mandalorian and gorgu toys are street dated for march 22nd. Its absolutely fucking retarded that they dont come out around the same time as one another compared to their movie release dates. Id understand the MOTU movie toys coming out two weeks after the mando toys do since the motu movie comes out two weeks after the mando movie does but it seems absolutely retarded to miss the mark so much and only have the toys out for such a brief amount of time before the motu movie where as the mando movie has their toys out much long before its respective movie releases.Hell they clearly HAVE THE TOYS READY TO GO APPARENTLY as evidenced by that gold skeletor leak but they stubbornly refuse to put them out widely for no good reason
>>11730439Nada, but DDs is an hour drive to check. In my experience DDs gets like 1 per store of these kind of things. Like good Playmobil $150 sets for $30 they get like 1 of if you're lucky
>>11730389Its these gougers that are making toy lines flop among kids, theyre making it so only adults care enough to spend what theyre asking
New bake fucking when
>>11730475Don't worry, anon. The MOTU movie will do fine. It doesn't need toys out there ahead of time to compete with Mando and Yeed. People are pretty bored of Mando by now.
>>11730798But i shouldnt have to wait so long for the toys
>>11730970This is the American mentality on toys. But many other countries like to savor the flavor of the preorder as it grills slowly to perfection over the year.
this listing is still here only to taunt me.
>>11731029Faggot.
Any ideas why March 19th is so busy at Mattel Creations including MotU and WWE?
>>11731160Walmart Con starts the 19th. There's also MegaCon orlando that day.
>>11731308Well it's not MegaCon. So maybe WM has the exclusives and MC is also putting them up on the site same day. So Gold style Skeletor from the movie 5.5" First line.Gold Skeletor and Samurai 200X He-Man are the best choices in awhile for WM. No one will really give a shit if you miss them unlike Flocked Moss Man, ToG Merman or the two snake singles.
>>11731316>Gold Skeletor and Samurai 200X He-Man are the best choices in awhile for WMDon’t forget chronicles scare glow
Question If street date for movie figures are April 25th why the fuck haven’t we gotten any preorders yet?
>>11731160>>11731308March 19th is the Mattel Creations Revealed event. That's why they're busy.It has nothing to do with any other cons simultaneously runningAnd all their site listings say "Creations Exclusive Design", so no, it's not going to be Walmart Exclusives in their site. The whole point of the event is shilling their own website.
They're already discounting random 200x origins on amazon...
>>11731347In store probably takes precedence to billboard for the movie
>>11731538Glad I waited. It’s an unfortunate end if it doesn’t continue after the next wave but at least we’re getting teela. Disappointed no trapjaw or buzz off

>>11731743only just went up today
>>11728399You should try ordering Samurai He-Man. Hes getting canceled like he's called "Cultural Appropriation He-Man.Canceled as if He-Man showed up drunk in front of the Council of Eternia, ranting why he has the right to take and break other nations' artifacts.Canceled as if he wore blueface on Halloween for a Faker costume.Canceled as if He-Man explained that the Iron Cross on his chest was inspired by stories Marlena told about Earth.Canceled as if he said, "I can use that word; some of my best friends are winged monkeys.".Canceled as if he claimed that Trollans weren't wiped out in Revelation, and even if they did, they deserved it for being so annoying.
Who's willing to bed Grayskull Ring is a real thing in Castle Grayskull dungeon and guys like Frog Monger fight each other there all day?
>>11732258bet*
Reminds me I saw youtube complaining that if you tilt too far Stephanie's head, her tits will push against her mask and launch it across the room. Someone should try working it into actual action feature.
We’re really dragging this thread to the 17th huh
>>11732258John Cena is real therefore Grayskull must be real and that means Frog Monger has been on the receiving end of an Attitude Adjustment at least once in life
>>11732258I bet.
>>11731634>>11731636>>11731637When is his street date? That should tell me when the next reset at target is
>>11732740Listing doesn't have one. Dunno if it has one if you actually got to order it.
>>11731634>>11731636>>11731637Noooo, I did not miss out on this. >>11732129I like his shoes, otherwise it looks like some 4th of july in japan cosplay with the red white and blue colors. >>11732262I love that figure. >>11732667Cena retired so only his spirit remains in the WWE universe now. Some say he is still sleeping, months after Gunther released his sleeper hold.
Some new Mattel Brick Shop set info!Mattel Brick Shop Masters of the Universe figure details from Castle Grayskull & Snake Mountain sets (with the Fright Fighter that has yet to have a description)With the piece count versus the figure count, I'm not sure if those 'new micro-world figures in dynamic poses' are articulated, or if their dynamic poses are called that way because they switch poses from figure-to-figure across several figures that are static. The Fright Fighter though is a helicopter which signifies the highest likelihood of the old micro action figure system since it's so small compared to Castle Grayskull & Snake Mountain which are entire fortresses. There are 3 outcomes:1.) The 'new micro-world figures' is just a re-name of the current micro action figure system. That is the best scenario. Maybe the Fright Fighter could carry that legacy if the other 2 sets don't due to it's small size.2.) It is an entirely new figure system. Whether it's larger than the micro action figure system or more or less articulated remains to be seen.3.) Worse case scenario is that they standardise the 1x1 stud static figure system. You know, the 1x1 Cortana, Roland, Vault Boy, & Squid Game's Pink Soldiers. While I'm not against that, I am hoping it won't be a cop-out against the micro action figure system. Then again, eyes on the Fright Fighter unless they decide to make that one come with a 1x1 Skeletor figure lol which would be laughable.
>>11733184There's also the havoc staff set and possibly a buildable battle cat set.
>>11733184>1.) The 'new micro-world figures' is just a re-name of the current micro action figure systemIs that like Mighty Max?
>>11726117based
>>11733184>>1173318516 and 12 mini figures doesn't sound right if they're the current Mega figures. What a damn shame if they don't continue that style of figure.
>>11733400 I do not like the sound of this. It sounds like they are gimping the current MEGA figures.
>>11733097There was a whole ass episode explaining that armour that was actually pretty good.
>>11733184>>11733185Right now the full line-up of MBS MotU movie sets seems to be the following:>Buildable Display Havoc Staff>Buildable Display Power Sword>Buildable Display Skeletor bust>Castle Grayskull with micro world figures>Snake Mountain with micro world figures>Roton (display set?)>Fright Fighter (display set?)>Buildable Display Battle CatIt seems Mattel gave up on kids and Mattel Brick Shop will gear towards teens/adults instead.
